In this playful and relaxed weekend course, you will respond to micro-poems and explore traditional and experimental ink drawing, painting, creative typography, collage and mono printing techniques to create figurative or semi abstract imagery. You will then combine your artwork together with words to make a one-off artist’s book: a poetic contemplation of transient landscapes.

This course is suitable for all levels including beginners and is particularly suitable for anyone interested in illustration or storytelling through Fine Art practice.

Booking on this course includes free entry to the Artist Book Fair that takes place throughout the weekend.

Basic art materials will be provided. As ideas unfold over the weekend students may want to use their own materials. Dagmara can give advice about any additional materials on the first day.
